Chapter 97

KATE

Meg is standing next to my desk.

"Are you okay?" she asks, sounding alarmed. "He seems a bit agitated."

"He's a huge stupid jerk," I reply.

"What happened?"

"The Pigren project wasn't approved."

"And he took it out on you?"

"Just a little. He didn't let me participate in the meeting."

"As if you would pay attention to anything other than his pants after our lunch conversation," I hold back laughter.

"You guys need to stop."

"Relax, Kate... everyone knows Ryan's policy."

"I know." But you don't know that this policy isn't currently in effect.

"I came to bring the Doller account planning."

"Alright," I squint my eyes, hating the idea of having to go in there again.

"It's not that bad, remember the pants."

"Meg!" We laugh before she leaves.

"Wrong... wrong," he says as he scribbles with his pen.

"I'll return it for them to correct."

"Sure. Of course, you will," he says, genuinely upset. I had no idea that work could affect him this badly.

"You need to relax."

"You want me to relax?"
